During the 1920’s the area became known for its passion for film and boasted several studios, including the Cecil Hepworth Studio, which was converted to a theatre by the original architect when the studio closed.

After the 2nd World War, the town began to re-develop, the film studios made a comeback and many films were made out of studios such as the Nettlefold and Walton Studios.

The area also had a passion for racing and in the 1940’s and 50’s hwm (Hersham and Walton Motors) built racing cars including Formula 1 cars driven by legends including Stirling Moss. Hwm is still very much part of the town and after winding up the racing car business, took a franchise in iconic Aston Martin cars.
